The most represented uses of recorded plants were recreational tea; for jam; as snacks and soup; and drink.

The results indicated that part of the reason for the main use of wild plants were linked to diet diversification.

Gaujas krastu erozija un paaugstinātas bīstamības vietas GNP teritorijā

2010

Darbā izveidots literatūras apskats par Gaujas krastu eroziju un to ietekmējošajiem faktoriem. Analizējot kartogrāfisko materiālu tika izvēlēts 19 km garš Gaujas posms starp Leukādiju un Raiskuma tiltu, kurā satopami dažādu tipu meandri, salas un sēres. Attīstot darbu vairākos pētījumu posmā esošos Gaujas līkumos tika izmantota krastu erozijas stacionārā lauka pētījumu metode. Šiem rezultātiem, kā arī izvēlētā posma gultnes attīstībai un ilggadīgajām ūdens līmeĦu svārstībām, tika pievērsta vislielākā nozīme. Darba noslēgumā tika prognozēta izvēlēto meandru attīstība, kā arī izdarīti secinājumi, kuri radās izstrādājot šo bakalaura darbu. Atslēgas vārdi: Gauja, GNP, upju sānerozija, upe, mean…
